Awe inspiring...Truly it rivals the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the Colossus of Rhodes.
How is this Video Games?
>>736218737>>736218932Is it featured as a Wonder in some Civ game?
>>736218972yes, the joke is that the game wonder looks far better than the real thing (which is just a glorified mud hut)
>>736218737Looks comfy
Venice BALLER here. Don't mind me just buying the entire world. If you're poor you can consider doing that city-state's quest so they can ignore you anyway.
>game has thousands years worth of lore>technology didn't change since the dawn of timeFucking hacks. And no, magic existing is not an excuse, specially when it neither evolve.
last thread I said it looked like 'ick on 'eck from the thumbnail and I just wanted to point that out again because nobody else saw my post
>>736218737Of those three, Kasubi Tombs are still standing.
>>736220663Touch grass.
>>736220792because it was made relatively recently and is so low maintenance that a child could keep it repaired.
>>736220537topkek
>>736218737It's incredible they were able to build it with the technology of the time
>>736218737Which pre roman northern European MvdHvt is this
>>736220537I can't find shit about this being considered a "world wonder" IRL
>>736221325if i had to guess the civ devs just had to pull something out of their ass to give the niggers a wonder like the other civilizations since they dont actually have an IRL wonder.
>>736221325Precisely.
>>736218737>>736220537>>736221271>>736221274It's literally a master piece of human creativity according the the White people at UNESCO, chud.
>>736221356>>736221359oh fucklmao
>>736220887>he doesn't like cost-effective architectureBy capitalist standards, every building in america should look EXACTLY like that
>>736218737Well Anon, it IS a very big hutJokes aside, Ethiopia is just next to Uganda and they actually did build pretty respectable temples and other structures as far back as antiquity. But they were largely Christian, so I guess it doesn't count. Also, it's important to note that because most of those countries are unstable, dangerous shitholes nowadays very litle actual archeological work happens there. There might still be some real gems burried somewhere, who knows. Probably not though
>>736218737Let's see what you build OP.
>>736221325>to be considered a world wonder in the series
>>736221484Not OP, but would you like to see my bionicles?
>>736218737>A fucking mudhutLmao
>>736221520reading is hard, ok?
>>736221461>it's important to note that because most of those countries are unstable, dangerous shitholes nowadays very litle actual archeological work happens there.Whiteys need to return they stolen artifacts back to Africa so that the People's Liberation Army of Southwestern Ethiopia Movement of 1989 (PLASEM) can destroy the museum they're in
>>736218737>africans build mighty huts, hunt hyenas and bang fat chicks while the domesticated males post on peruvian toenail-trimming forumHow far we have fallen...
>We must honour the old ways and our traditions like a true conservative chad>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT LIKE THAT NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER
>>736221461Ethiopia is pretty tragic all things considered. It was the niggers one shot at uplifting themselves before the tribals and muslims tore it down crab bucket style, Europe could've done some about it but were all "ew niggers" while Christian Ethiopians were being ravaged.
>>736220537>>736221440>Built in 1882>considered a Wonder of the World>considered a masterpiece of human creativityMeanwhile a random hotel in France built in 1882.
>>736221536When life gives you mud...
>>736218737I'm curious how well it insulates
>>736221643>insulation>in AfricaWhat for?
>>736221571Did you just admit to being closely related to niggers?
>>736221440I like that we have organisations like UNESCO but this just seems silly
>>736221658Rapestorms and famine
>>736221658To be more specific how cool is it inside on hot days
>>736218737>Truly it rivals the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the Colossus of Rhodes.well it still exists so it mogs them in that respect
>>736221643well its a tomb so not a huge consideration but mud isn't a bad insulator for cold nights I guess. they dont really have windows either, just openings in the ceiling and the huts are further divided inside by more mud walls to further trap body heat. no amount of insulation is going to prevent mosquitoes though and I dont understand why anyone lives anywhere that has them year round
>>736218737this thing was built in modern times lmao
>>736221440it's funny because some african warlord could destroy it with a lighter as a show of force
>>736221627they actually have a shit ton of clay down there, they just dont know how to use it.they could very easily be living in brick houses and eating from ceramic plates instead of in mud huts and off the ground if they were capable of learning at all.
>>736221671well my great granddad was in the british army when it subjugated parts of africa and Ive been told I probably have a lot of distant relatives over there as a result
>>736221718My house is older than it
>>736221683To be fair UNESCO always gets a ton of criticism because most World Heritage sites are in Europe and East Asia, so they probably scramble to add literally anything in Africa that qualifies. Even USA and Canada has more World Heritage sites than Africa.
The original world wonders were basically just a tourist guide for the ancient Greek world
>>736221618It definitely looks pretty but I can't imagine any fag from back then building one of those solo. In a situation between life and death, you spend your time working on the more important aspects of a house meant for the here and now, less about the bells and whistles.The vikings did it best, IMO.
>>736221763in fact, i wouldnt be surprised if a decent chunk of mud huts are just straight up made out of raw clay, and the niggers living inside will never be able to figure out that they could cook it to make something infinitely more durable than mud.
>>736218737Damn, white people BTFO. Make this man the lead dev of AoE 2 immediately.
>>736221824>I can't imagine any fag from back then building one of those solo.Yeah but 1882 wasn't the early middle ages.
>>736221824that's fine, but don't fucking call it a world wonder, not my fault sub-saharan africa had no long lasting monuments
>>736221901>Gaius Julius ArishIsn't that kinda like calling your kid Napoleon Ngubu?
>>736221805>most World Heritage sites are in Europe and East AsiaIf by "East Asia" you mean just China. It's Europe, China, and then India.
>>736221440This is comedic and tragic at the same time.
>>736221440Its almost like culture isn't objectively based on Eurocentric standards solelyRetard
>>736221983>culture isn't objectively based on Eurocentric standardswrong
>>736221983>CULTURE IS WHEN I SLING POO AT THE WALL AND SAY OOGABOOGA GIBS ME WORLD WONDER!!!sure but its not a culture worth respecting.
>>736221747You mean like Notre Dame?
>>736221440>get me out of this godforsaken hellhole
>>736221962>If by "East Asia" you mean the largest landmass in East AsiaJapan also has 26 but is conveniently cut off on your chart.
>>736221824You can always optimize more, why would I bother shovelling mud and clay like a wagie?
>>736222049We all agreed to pretend this was a repair team's fault
>>736222087Yeah the clear video of a man skulking around the roof walkway in muslim garb right before the fire broke out was just a coincidence.
>>736222049yes, I only trust stone
>>736222159What did we said bout schizoposting again?
>>736222218>What did we saidsaar do not redeem the brown people invading
>>736221440>>736220537It’s pretty funny how everyone just quietly accepts that blacks are retarded to the point that building a wide mudhut in the late 19th century is something to be celebrated.
>>736218737NIGGERS
>>736222267Browns are funny like that.
>>736221983How come you can hold china to eurocentric standards and it comes out looking fine?
>>736218737Another thread wasted by a Timmy seething at niggers.
>>736220537They just added more dry leaves on top. Or poop. The centerpiece thing is literally a random piece of wood. Is the wonder how they raised a sizeable structure weighed down by poo?
>>736220537The wonder is how they managed to build a straw hut instead of a mud hut. Truly ahead of their time.
>>736221983It isn’t eurocentric, it’s blackaversive because cracking open the skulls of bald people because you thought there was gold in there is foul to any race with a fully developed frontal cortex.
>>736218737well this ones real unlike the gardens of babylon and the colossus of rhodes
I-IS THAT A LARGE TRIANGLEIT MUST HAVE BEEN ALIENS HUMANS SIMPLY ARENT SMART ENOUGH TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THISwho cares?
Does Africa really not have anything resembling enlightened artistic/craftsmanship skill? Every other culture in the world demonstrates it to some degree.
>>736222621Only the gardens have been disputed. The Colossus is too documented by multiple different sources to be fictional.
>>736218737>>736221824 (You)Put your covid mask back on white boi and masturbate to more porn in your bedroomPussy ass fucking faggot gamer bitch
>>736221747It already burned down in 2010. They rebuilt it.
>>736222747When you are in an eternal state of war from roaming thieves you don’t build anything to last or plan long-term. For all the accusations of violence the white man gets and the extensive continental European wars, the locals here lived comfortably enough to have the luxury of long-term planning, investment and return. Africa still struggles with this and I can only consider it a generic feature at this point as it spans millenia and countless tribal cultures.
>>736222839I know you jamboys have like 90 IQ tops, but your image is an asian, Sanjay.
What is impressive about this is that it was made with with any real construction equipment despite his size but I wouldn't expect amerimutts who can only see the world through propaganda to understand this because they can't locate a macdonalds nearby
>>736222695it's really funny when people say stuff like this (unironically anyway) because the whole point of it being impressive was the logistics involved and the people who call it "just a triangle" are the type that can't even begin to imagine what the logistics would have looked like because they don't even know what the word "logistics" means, much less what they would have felt like if they hadn't had breakfast that morning.
>>736222049mossad
>>736222917logistics as in moving something down a river then up a ramp?
>>736222892>Africa still struggles with this and I can only consider it a generic feature at this point as it spans millenia and countless tribal cultures.Because Africa is a geographical shithole who has been attacked by literally everyone
>>736222917whats funny is that the kampala (the mud hut wonder) was more likely to have been made by white people than the pyramids were to have been built by aliens, despite the mut hut being a much less impressive "wonder"
>>736223021>>736222875this is just like the mali mud castle, then
>>736222992Reducing the feat to "they just moved it from a to b dude" is precisely the issue dummy
>>736222747>Does Africa really not have anything resembling enlightened artistic/craftsmanship skill? Irobotmeme.jpg
>>736223352it just doesnt hold up when you compare it to other great wonders that are just as impressive in terms of logistics but they also actually look nice (unlike the pyramids)
>>736223352>zoomers really think doing manual labor is black magic
>>736221440>>736221683I think all cultures have enough value to be worth preserving their history and some key landmarks to represent that, which as I understand it is the point of UNESCO world heritage. Even ooga-booga tribal shithole cultures. Variety is nice.Though even with that said, "a master piece of human creativity both in its conception and its execution" feels more than a bit on the nose.
>>736223398it is when it's done by jewish slaves
>>736223008Africa are under constant attack by africans. If you want to claim that the European and Arab excursions are to blame I must point out that they are nothing out of the ordinary. The chinese are a good example of a country constantly under siege from every direction but could pull off engineering wonders despite that state of war. In fact their most famous claim to fame is a defensive military structure. Didn’t stop them from being pillaged by the mongols, europeans or japanese though.
>>736220537>The tombsBro you could fit like 10 people in there maybe.
>>736223021>Its trash but actually it may have been also made by white people Never underestimate a white persons ability to manipulate the narrative and talk out of both sides of their mouth
Will sagrada familia be seen as a world wonder when it gets finished
>>736223751There's an argument to be made that even finishing it in the first place could count as a wonder at this point.
>>736223783Isn't 200 years pretty normal for cathedrals
>>736221440>This is the Pinnacle of their entire civilization Oof.
>>736223565There's no way of doing it without sounding condescending. You either extend "master piece" to cover the Parthenon down to large mud huts or you have a "good for them" category.
>>736223397Don't ignore that they've been raided and stolen from for centuries dude>>736223398At that scale, it is impressive. I'm not sure why you would think it wasn't apart from not being able to comprehend the scale it is at.
>>736220537>1882What the fuck
>>736223719That is not what he said retard
>>736221571The "old ways" of my race figured out stonemasonry and metallurgy, my dude.
>>736223719Thirdie reading comprehension strikes again
>>736221453Capitalism is why people can demand and afford something better than mud huts or cement prison blocks
>>736221590Depends on the period really.Early Ethiopia (i.e. Axum) had a good thing going, but fucked itself up with mostly failed attempts at controling Arabia, screwed up internally by giving too much power to the church, then fucked up its relations with the church with attempts at fixing that, and lastly it wasn't really able to keep up its initial good relations with Rome because this really didn't allign with its local interest.More modern Ethiopia also had a decent thing going, but it got largely ruined by USSR schemes attempting to make it a satelite state (Cold War intelligence shenanigans generally ruined the chance of "catching up" for many African countries much more than most people realise)Haven't read much about what happened inbetween yet, so no comment here
>>736221747Well, about that>On 16 March 2010, at about 8.30 pm local time, the Kasubi tombs were destroyed by fire.[9]
>>736224052yeah, we upgraded to metal and glass cages
>>736223714>If you want to claim that the European and Arab excursions are to blame I must point out that they are nothing out of the ordinary.European colonization wasn't just reaching Africa and proclaiming yourself king, it was based around extracting as many resources as quickly as possible, they didn't give you shits about the local population unless they could use it as slaves, downplaying European colonization this much is laughable when you consider that African borders to this day were made by europeans
>>736222747Subsaharan africa* and no, the abos aint got shit either.
>>736223843> I'm just not understanding how a state could have a power but the federal government wouldn't
>>736222695It originally had a smooth exterior, and the interior has several complicated air shafts and chambers. The pyramids were a fucking crazy feat of engineering for the time. Which is probably why black people want to pretend that they were ancient Egyptians instead of the hilarious clowns south of the Sahara that sold their village idiots and tribal POWs into slavery for gunpowder.
The greatest thing Africa ever made was their fatassed women. Europe should recolonize that land and force African women to have white husbands. Maybe even build a couple Hot Topics here and there too haha.
With every passing day, I'm warming up to the fact that we are living in some kind of dark age.
>>736222159Did they find bunch of sand and some partially scorched sullas around too? And of course a syrian passport in a nearby trashcan.
>>736224581we have been ever since the 70s
>>736220537Don't look up what Nordic ""architecture"" looked like when Rome built their architectural wonders
>>736224581Wdym? Elites are still doing human sacrifice in buildings taller than the rest of the city.
>>736224581shangri la spawn room
>>736224337Yeah, resources which most of those cultures largely didn't make any good use of for literal thousands of years before European colonisation.Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that Europeans didn't drain the continent of resources, they absolutely did. In fact, they continue to do so, since vast majority of large mining and other resource extracting operations in Africa are largely owned by European and lately also Chinese companies, which is basically all the economical downsides of collonialism with none of the civilisational uplift perks of it - but that's more covert and doesn't look so bad, so we don't talk about it.However, pretending that this is the main reason for why those countries are like that when they were already ages behind before any mass explotation by outsiders is completely dishonest.
>>736224581We're certainly living in the dark age of aesthetics. People lost their monumentalist drive altogether. Modern architecture is just the cheapest steel, glass and concrete with no adornments.Can you imagine someone starting a project like the Cologne Cathedral today out of faith? No, that just won't happen.
>>736224581Yeah...
>>736222195I recently found out that the middle one isn't the Great Pyramid, it's just built on a hill to appear bigger but it's actually the further away one that's the Great Pyramid and the biggest.
>>736221983>Its almost like culture isn't objectively based on Eurocentric standards solelyClearly it is, since almost the entire world keeps basing their architecture, clothing, government and education systems on European models. Only places which have made their entire cultural identity hating the west refuse to adopt western culture and even they're far from immune.
>Japanese tombs
>>736224890>get to rest in peace in a comfy garden instead of a giant musty slab of stoneI don't know seems like they were on to something there
>>736224890So I reckon the giant keyhole only seen from the sky was supposed to be a message for someone?
>>736224501>the interior has several complicated air shafts and chambers.You're thinking of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, that's the Pyramid of Khafre which doesn't have much of an interior as the actual tomb is underneath the pyramid dug into the bedrock.
>>736224801Look up the surname of your local brutalist architects and I think you'll probably notice a pattern.
>>736224960Actually it was stone, but it has since been overgrown.
>>736224890that would be kino to live in the middle of.
>>736224469it's more like>I don't like the outcome of this speech and so I think it should be illegal.with no thought given to the concept that maybe this will be used in nefarious ways later on down the line (or right now)or it's just a bold-faced lie and she simply doesn't value the concept in the first place
>>736221325It's a third world wonder
>>736225017Brutalism isn't the problem. There is some good brutalist architecture. CAD is the problem.
>>736225017I think architects are just a symptom. The cause would be that every modern building is a part of the 'line go up' system, which demands everything to be utalitarian. There's no king who'll declare "and here we'll do the grandest fucking monument for everyone to gawk at, because we can"
>>736224801jews would stop you from building it or just get niggers to burn it down when you're doneWe need a global crusade to fix the situation we're in
>>736224890What if there's a giant key on the moon?
>>736224337When your entire race is retarded and useless, don’t be surprised when better ones move in and actually use the resources.
>>736225104>CAD is the problem.You can make appealing work in cad. CAD does not produce brutalist architecture. Brutalist architecture was, in fact, pioneered before CAD's invention. The kikes that promote disgusting grey cubes are the problem.
>>736224960Garden/Forest cemeteries with people being buried at the roots of trees instead of under tombstones are a thing, though still pretty rare in the west. There are also some places that can mix up the ashes with a tree seedling or something like that, so the dead person "gets reborn" as a tree. It's a nice idea I think
hey noseberg, you should probably put your newest round of jeets through an english course, their poor english is making it too obvious.
>>736225059>the moat around Daisenryo Kofun is extremely stagnantIt probably smells revolting and would not be fun to live around at all.
>>736218737Would you rather live in one of those huts or one of these peasant apartments?
>>736224867>since almost the entire world keeps basing their architecture, clothing, government and education systems on European models.Biggest retard in the threat and that's saying something
>>736225146The Arab Kings do that, but they also have the tackiest taste in architecture imaginable, just like another person who I will not name.
>>736220537>was soThis is the actual english present in the game?
>>736225273>Biggest retard in the threat and that's saying somethingCare to explain why the president of China wears a suit anon?
>>736224867Funny enough, Ancient Europe took plenty from the Middle East (Medes/Babylon/Egyptian influence)>>736225281Arabs took Persian architecture and Eastern Roman and just fused it. Adding their own flair as well
>>736225402I meant modern Arabs
>>736225165Saying while probably bitching about mass immigration lmao
>>736225325It's valid English. It's a but redundant by modern grammar but it's still valid.
>>736225325Believe it or not that is appropriate grammar. There are other appropriate ways to phrase it, but "was so" makes perfect sense. "was done so" is more common but the "done" is not necessary in this sentence. Slightly archaic phrasing, which fits the subject matter.
>>736225402Persian architecture was just Greek architecture.
What games have kowloon in them?
>>736225437I may not be a fan, but the heart is in the right place. This exists because someone in power went "I want the tallest building in the world, chop chop" and they made it happen. An incredibly human thing to do, taste aside.
>>736225273Picture the native architecture and clothing style of a country. Now picture what their country looks like right now. What kind of rulers did they used to have? What sort of rulers do they have now? Everyone switched to apartment blocks, suits, jeans and democracy once it became available. The governmental one has a lot to do with cold war and pressure from the IMF but lots of others switched to communism which is also technically a European ideology. Not many kings left and the whole world has pretty much accepted the dichotomy between two European ideologies, rather than inventing their own third one.
>>736225548black ops 1
>>736225510Kinda, Cyrus and his Persians were nomadic yurt people. He went through Medea, Babylon and Anatolia pretty much being inspired by all the architecture.>I'll take that, oh and this
>>736225660By the time the Arabs took over Persia, Cyrus was long gone and Persia had already been Hellenized after Alexander.
>>736225267The insula for the amenities, I could go to the theatre, races, games, bathhouse, whorehouse, popina, taberna etc. for distraction.
>>736224739>However, pretending that this is the main reason for why those countries are like that when they were already ages behind before any mass explotation by outsiders is completely dishonestI already said that the other reason is Africa being a geographical shithole where most of the land is infertile with almost no rivers or other water bodies and the most deadly animals in the planet including strains of mosquitoes that are way worse than lions or rhinos, hell even herbivore animals like elephants are a pain in the ass to hunt

>>736221440The soft bigotry of low expectations.
>>736225281>>736225554The issue with those Arab rulers is that they just copy the western status symbols without any of the western aesthetic sensibility, sense of moderation or understanding of the wider context in which those symbols exist, resulting in shit that is opulently expensive and over the top in the tackiest, most tasteless way possible.Shit like "Sports car made of gold" or "Private islands in a shape of every country in the world" is the kind of answers you would get out of a 5 year old kid if you asked them what would they have if they were the richest person in the world

>>736226297And? They're living the dream. They don't need to "grow up." Their culture, religion, and wealth will outlast them by generations. They don't need to fret over "sensibility." That childish Arab is making a mockery of Western aesthetics because that's what Western aesthetics are to them, a curiosity. These people can, on a whim, hire any TikTok whore to get fucked by dogs. That's not hyperbole, that's something they do and have done so often it's become a joke that, "I'm in Dubai" is code for Instagram whores for, "I'm getting creampied by Arabian oil tycoons."
